The Arbor Day Farms "Discovery Ride" building (30'x40' with (2) 10x10 pop outs --- designed & produced by Sierra Log Homes) has been successfully erected by Jody Johnson & crew. An amazing job fully assembled & erected in less than 2 weeks. The structure is done completely in Douglas Fir. The posts, trusses & ridge are 12", the purlins are 8".....the roof will be decked with a kiln dried Douglas Fir 2x6 t&g, then overframed.

Our clients at Arbor Day are extremely happy. This is was an email Doug (head of the project) sent me last week expressing his happiness. Also, here is the link to their "flickr" photo album:

"""Larry,

I took some photos tonight, and well send them along to you on Saturday. The building is just perfect. Your design and wise council was really valuable, and we thank you for your expertise and your vision to match ours.And Jody, Al and Tom did a spectacular job---very detail orientated, and really showed how much they cared about it being build well---both structurally and esthetically. Please know how much we appreciate you bringing them to our project. We could not have done this without their skills and expertise. Larry, we so appreciate all you have done in getting this from an idea, to a very cool building. I know hundreds of thousands of people will be inspired about the value of trees because of this new addition at Arbor Day Farm. We will stay in touch, and send you some photos as it continues to progress. Our sincere gratitude to you and your team and to Jody and his.

For the trees,

Doug""""
